Argentina is known for its legendary steakhouse meals, growing wine scene, and stunning natural landscapes. It’s also known for being one of the more pricey tourist destinations in South America. If you’re looking to save a few dollars during your Argentinean vacation, staying in hostels is a great way to do it. Here are four hostels, in four different Argentinean cities, that will ensure you get a good night’s rest while sticking to budget:

Portal del Sur in Buenos Aires
The Portal del Sur is located in a charming old building right in the middle of all the action in Buenos Aires. It comes with plenty of standard perks, such as free breakfast, wifi, and a computer room, but the best feature is the rooftop terrace. Guests congregate at the bar for the views and the company, plus to try some traditional Argentinean BBQ for themselves. The hostel even offers free tango lessons, spanish tours, mate tastings, and walking tours of the city. It is a true gem in the hostel scene of Buenos Aires.

La Posta Hostel in Ushuaia
Backpacking travelers who are tired of bunk beds will love having their own single bed in the dorm rooms at La Posta. Couples, families, and those searching for a bit more privacy can choose from a double room or quadruple room, which come with lock boxes for safe storage. Guests can expect personal advice and guidance from the caring owners and staff, plus a delicious breakfast they’ll be raving about long after their checkout. Onsite parking is a major convenience for travelers who are renting a car.

Garden Stone Hostel in Puerto Iguazu
Located just a 10-minute walk away from the bus station that takes you to the Iguazu Falls is one of the greatest attractions to this simple hostel. Both shared and private rooms are available, plus breakfast is included. The property’s lush gardens and pool are what really make it special. Oh, and they conveniently sell cold water and beer at reception–something any traveler will appreciate after a long day of hiking.

Greenhouse Hostel in San Carlos de Bariloche
The rooms are clean and have lots of amenities, but the real reason this hostel is a favorite among travelers is the attentive service given by the owners. They are happy to offer advice, give you directions, and ensure you have a fantastic visit to the mesmerizing Bariloche area. The hostel is just steps from the lake, and near other area attractions as well. The sparkling clean kitchen looks like it belongs in someone’s home, not in a hostel, making it all the more inviting for self-catering guests.
